H.L.’s Pale Ale is a highly aromatic and cleanly bitter beer with a crisp but fruity body.

Fun fact: H.L. means Homer Little. The grandfather of Jeremy Pittman (co-founder of Rockpit) and a coal miner for the Red Jacket Coal Company until 1959 when he moved his family to Florida.

Homer is the man we’ve paid homage to with our brewery.

Our interpretation of a light lager. One that actually has color and doesn’t taste like beer flavored water.

Light bodied and crisp, this is sure to please those enthusiastic Coors, Bud and Miller drinkers and introduce them to what beer is supposed to taste like. 

Even the most ardent craft beer lovers will appreciate this light lager as it’s the style of beer brewed long before the bland, boring beers took over the world. 

You’ll also notice there isn’t any rice in our light beer. 

Fun fact: If you substitute the E with an O in Miner’s, this beer takes on a whole new meaning. One that we want to avoid. 

Medium-light in body with crisp, clean upfront bitterness. You’ll want to take time to savor the strong tropical and citrus notes that are prevalent in this all-american IPA.

Fun fact: A “Cackler” is what they called a miner who let others do the heavy work.

Sort of like Derek Zoolander (Click for video).

This coffee milk stout is smooth and silky with roasted coffee tones and a creamy finish. So easy drinking, yet totally anomalous.

Fun fact: Black strap is what miners called coffee. It’s also what they called the oil that went into their oil lamps in the early 1900’s. Which makes us think a lot of miners drank really bad coffee.

Luckily we used a VERY good coffee in this beer which you’ll absolutely appreciate when that first sip hits your tongue. 

Oh and “con leche” is spanish for “with milk”. This beer has nothing to do with Spanish culture but we couldn’t think of anything better to use. “With Milk” doesn’t look or sound cool at all. “Con Leche” looks and sound really cool. 

Go on… Say it… “con leche”.

Now say it with a Spanish accent. You feel cool, right?

Our RPB house blonde that’s easy drinking with a light, crisp finish. You might even notice a slight fruity note in the first few sips.

Fun fact: Blondin’s are aerial ropeways used in open pits in slate quarries to transport wagons loads of rock between locations.

Side note: Apparently it’s illegal to ride a blondin in an abandoned mining area. Wish they would have told me that before the authorities were alerted.

Introducing Polterspice. Our collaboration with @bowmanhillbrewing.

Polterspice is a roasty porter featuring pumpkin, marshmallow fluff and fall spices like clove, cinnamon and nutmeg finished off with a hint of coffee.

Don’t you feel all warm inside reading that?

Wait until you taste it!

Badger Stole My Honey is a traditional Vienna Lager aged with 10 gallons of honey to bring you a sweet and satisfying lager.

Don’t set this one down near Honey Badgers. As the name suggests, they’ll steal it and drink it. And no one wants a drunk honey badger hanging around.

A classic hefeweizen with loads of clove and banana aroma and flavor. You might remember this beer from a few months back. And you’ll surely enjoy this new and improved version of this German classic.

You won’t believe the ABV on this when you try it. People are shocked when we tell them. 

Why? This is such an easy-drinking ale that still has plenty of complexity but completely hides the high ABV.

On the nose, you’ll get some fruitiness, subtle spiciness and hop aroma. The flavor mimics the aroma with a nice mix of fruitiness and spicy undertones with a dry finish.

And at an undetectable 7.9% ABV, it’s a bright ray of light on a cold dark night.

“An absolute juice bomb of a New England IPA”

A few months ago our assistant brewer Steve created the first version of “Wassabro?” a New England IPA made with all Sabro hops.

Sabro hops are EXTREMELY rare and difficult to obtain. We got lucky again and bought a lot of them so we could make more versions of “Wassabro?”. This version was aged with Spanish cedar spirals. 

What does this mean for you?

You get an absolute juice bomb of a New England IPA featuring tropical flavors like coconut and passionfruit with a hint of peppery cedar. This is an extremely limited batch with just a full keg and one sixtel keg.

A clean, crisp, pale ale infused with over 50 pounds of Apricot puree to jump-start the holiday season. 

Explosive cranberry tartness coming at you with Cranamite, our Cranberry Berliner Weiss.

When we first tasted this beer, our eyes widened as the explosive cranberry flavor dominated our taste buds.
The word “Whoa!” was uttered by Jeremy as he threw his glass on the ground from excitement. We’re still finding glass everywhere.

The gorgeous red color comes from being aged with 60 pounds of cranberry puree.
If you love tart sours, this is absolutely a beer you have to try before we run out of it. Which we tend to do quickly.
Cheers!

Over 60 pounds of cherry puree was used to make this refreshing and slightly tart beverage that will leave you wanting more.  Good news – we have more.  This one pairs very well with Cecil’s Smoked Tacos that you can only get here!

It’s back by popular demand!  This is a “Tart IPA” which means we made an IPA, soured it, then dry hopped to give it a tropical flavor with a small amount of bitterness.

OTAY! IPA is a Wheat IPA that features aromas of melon and fruit, flavors of pine and earthiness, and a subtle fruit character.

Why OTAY! IPA?

We love Eddie Murphy, and one of Eddie Murphy’s characters on SNL was Buckwheat from Little Rascals.

His catchphrase was “OTAY!”, hence the name OTAY! IPA. Get it? BuckWHEAT? OTAY!? We’ll at least the beer is damn good.

Our  Session IPA that’s hopped with Citra hops to give it a balanced citrus flavor (orange, lemon & lime) with lots of IPA bitter goodness.

We take our signature berliner base and treat it with Yuzu. The yuzu’s flavor is tart and fragrant, closely resembling that of the grapefruit, with overtones of mandarin orange.

The addition of 50 pounds of elderberries bring out a complex and distinctive fruit-forward character to this traditional beer, with a slight tart note at the end. As the name declares: Its not wine. We promise!
